I am surprised as anyone to realize I am almost done with fabric and paint!- I have two more coats of paint to do on the last wing and I have tape work and paint to do on the last aileron. The only other painting I need will be for the engine cowling, once fabricated.- I should be finished with the wing this week and the aileron by next week's end.It seems to me that painting the wing tends to relax the fabric. This may be just an illusion, but to me, the fabric does not feel quite as tight as it did prior to paint. I am sure there could be other factors at play here, but I am curious if anyone else has noted a change with their wings after paint?- I am brushing on exterior latex.Michael PerezPietenpol HINT VideosKaretaker Aerowww.karetakeraero.com________________________________________________________________________________
